ICS Blog Hop - Let's Sale-a-Brate!


Hey there friends!  How are you doing?  I'm so happy that you stopped by to check out our February blog hop.  This month we are all focusing on Sale-a-Bration.  Do you know about Sale-a-Bration?  It is the BEST promotion Stampin' Up! does each year.  For every $50 you spend out of either the Idea Book or the Occasions catalog, you get to pick an *exclusive* item for FREE!


My card features the "You Brighten My Day" stamp set.  I love how this stamp set coordinates with a few of our punches.  I would have never seen the "What's Up" arrow punch as a house!  I just love it! 

Which is your favorite Sale-a-Bration item?   I am having a hard time choosing one this year.  They are all pretty fabulous!

Thanks again for stopping by!  Next up on the hop is Olivia, I know she has something super fun to share with you!  






Here's what I used to make this card:

Fright Night Blog Hop


My friend Sherry has organized this fun Fright Night Blog Hop.  You'll see lots of fun Halloween ideas.  If you are starting here, you can click on the image above to start at Sherry's blog, or just continue on from here.  

If you are coming here from Olivia Loves to Stamp, welcome!  I love all of Olivia's cute projects, don't you?

I have to admit, I stressed a bit about this hop.  I don't usually do much for Halloween, and don't own many Halloween themed crafting supplies.  Thankfully, I was rescued by all the free goodies we received at convention!!  I have two cards, and a little treat holder for you today.  I hope you like them!


This first card was a lot of fun.  I love that the Witches Brew Washi Tape isn't straight.  I also added in one strip of the Basic Grey striped Washi Tape from the Epic Day Washi Tape set.  The greeting is from the Seasonal Sayings sets.


This fun little treat bag uses the Tag a Bag Gift Bags.  I did a little cutting, folding, and gluing to turn the flat bag into a lunch sack style bag.  My pumpkin was made with the Large Oval Punch.  I used Whisper White cardstock covered in washi tape.  I then dragged my sponge over the top with Pumpkin Pie ink.


Similarly to the gift bag, I used Whisper White cardstock covered in Witches Brew washi tape for the background of this card.  For the greeting of the the card, I knew what I wanted to do - but didn't have the right supplies.  I wanted to do something like I had seen Barb Mulikin do on her Control Freaks Blog Hop card.  But, I haven't ordered the new glitter yet.  So, I decided to do the next best thing.  I stamped the greeting with Black Staz-On ink onto a window sheet, and used the Label Bracket Punch to punch it out.  Then I used the punch to punch a second label out of our Silver Glimmer Paper.  I used Crystal Effects behind the letters and the spider bellies to attach the window sheet to the glimmer paper.

Well, that is all I have for today.  Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my projects!  I hope you enjoyed them!  

To continue on the hop - you'll be heading on over to Stamping with Pearl, where I know you'll be wow'd with more fun projects!

Create with Connie & Mary Color Challenge

Today I have a card I created for the color challenge over at Create with Connie & Mary.  The color challenge this week is perfect, because I was already making Halloween projects for a new Blog Hop that I am a part of that starts tomorrow.  So be sure to come back tomorrow to see lots of other Halloween ideas!

Here is the card I made:



I used the new Label Thinlits die to make a flip card.  The greeting is from the Tags 4 You set from the Holiday Catalog, used with the new Label Bracket Punch.  I embossed the greeting in silver to make it pop a little.

The candy corn punch are is from a Pinterest inspiration from Cristy Butzen. 


Thanks for looking at my card!  Have a great weekend!!
